Corporate Communications Associate

GoFundMe is the world’s most powerful community for good, dedicated to helping people help each other. By uniting individuals and nonprofits in one place, GoFundMe makes it easy and safe for people to ask for help and support causes—for themselves and each other. Together, our community has raised more than $40 billion since 2010.

Join us! The GoFundMe team is searching for our next proactive and purpose-driven Corporate Communications Associate to join our  Communications Team. In this role, you’ll help drive strategic media engagement and storytelling that highlight our growth, innovation, and the real-world impact of our community, further strengthening GoFundMe’s position as the most trusted platform for help — for both individuals and nonprofits.

You’ll work closely with your colleagues on the Corporate Communications team to craft and execute strategies that amplify GoFundMe’s mission, elevate executive thought leadership, and shape how the company shows up across traditional and emerging media. You’ll play an integral role in driving consistent, strategic coverage across business, tech, and philanthropy outlets — helping to manage and guide conversations about GoFundMe’s brand, impact, and vision for the future of giving.

You’ll be a part of a high-performing Corporate Communications team that’s equal parts strategic, creative, and collaborative. We spot opportunities, solve problems together, and stay focused on impact — for our mission, our team, and the GoFundMe community.

The Job: 

• Support GoFundMe’s storytelling and brand amplification: Help develop and execute creative communications strategies that elevate GoFundMe’s mission, products, partnerships, and innovation story across business, tech, philanthropy, and consumer media.
• Drive operational excellence: Establish and maintain clear processes — trackers, agendas, and other systems — that enable efficient collaboration, consistent messaging, and a high standard of output across all communications initiatives.
• Media monitoring and writing: Track coverage of the company and draft press releases, briefing memos, talking points, and presentations for external audiences. 
• Shape proactive communications programs: Contribute to the development of strategic PR plans and messaging for company news, product launches, partnerships, and marketing campaigns that inspire trust and engagement.
• Support external communications policy: Support the implementation of GoFundMe’s external communications policy by conducting the initial review of inbound inquiries related to partner and vendor releases, as well as speaking engagement requests. Surface recommendations to senior members of the communications team and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure alignment across teams.
• Elevate GoFundMe’s leadership voice: Organize, identify, and help drive speaking, awards, and thought leadership initiatives that position GoFundMe executives and the brand as leading voices in generosity, innovation, and the future of giving.
• Translate data into storytelling: Demonstrate proficiency in turning complex data and insights into clear, compelling narratives that bring GoFundMe’s impact to life and strengthen key media and stakeholder messaging.
• Spot and shape powerful narratives: Monitor trends across philanthropy, business, and technology to identify emerging storytelling opportunities that bring GoFundMe’s mission, innovation, and impact to life. 
• Support media engagement: Respond to relevant inbound media inquiries and help prepare executives for interviews and speaking engagements through research, message development, and briefing materials.
• Cultivate strong media relationships: Develop close, trusted relationships with journalists, podcast hosts, and key partners to secure impactful coverage, and build and maintain thoughtful media lists across verticals. 
• Foster collaboration across teams: Partner with marketing, social, product, and policy teams to ensure GoFundMe’s messaging is unified, strategic, and reflects our mission of helping people help each other. 
• Champion creativity and initiative: Bring fresh ideas to the table — new story angles, partnerships, and channels — to further expand GoFundMe’s reach, impact and relevance.

You: 

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, with 3–4+ years in public relations or corporate communications; agency experience preferred, particularly within the tech and/ or philanthropy sectors.
• Proven experience building and maintaining media lists, pitching and securing stories across business and tech verticals, with a strong understanding of the evolving media landscape.
• Exceptional written and verbal communicator who can translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver under tight deadlines in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
• Skilled researcher with a natural curiosity and ability to quickly identify emerging trends and opportunities that align with GoFundMe’s mission.
• A natural storyteller with a sharp news sense — passionate about uncovering powerful human stories that highlight community, innovation, and impact.
• A collaborative and dependable teammate who works effectively across internal teams and external partners, bringing positivity, accountability, and initiative to every project.
• A proactive, purpose-driven communicator who thrives in dynamic environments and consistently delivers high-quality work that advances GoFundMe’s brand and mission.
